Hi, parts of Berlin still have analog ??exchanges?? (Vermittlungsstellen, my dictionary isn`t that good on such tech-words) while others have digital. We have a digital since Jan. `94, fortunately because I got my ZyXEL sept. `93 and pulse dialing with a modem isn`t that c00l. And it may be that our two analog lines are kind of ISDN because if I take a look down into the cellar I see to devices on the wall which call themselves `PCM-????` which should mean `Pulsecodemodulation`. But all that hightech helps nothing if a call into some regions goes through 40! years old exchanges!! (OK, there are few left). >> I got a phone in Munich two years ago and it was a tone dial phone, but we weren't told about any ISDN at all! << Telekomiker! Not to many of the guys there knew (know) much about such `modern` things. I read about cases were Telekom offers things and you can`t convince their employees that this service exists! cya Jochen Antesberger from Neuburg a.d.

Rafael, > Is that right? I got my phone last year, and it is still a PULSE dial, > not TONE dial. You will not get automatically ISDN and it seems your telephone exchange is analog. Of course everyone can get ISDN, also if you are connected to a analog exchange. bye, Lothar Bartsch
